That is cool. They've got a rich universe to dive into with everything that they've got for backstory these days. Its awesome to see them put it to work. Any other tie ins or is that it? Even if its just that, that's more than enough.

Interesting to see RSE Archie and Maxie. I guess ORAS Archie and Maxie are not the same universe/timeline as USUM? That's interesting, since there's no Mega Evolution in the RSE timeline, but obviously there's Megas in Alola.

I'm interested to see how this all plays out in the story, it's already so different from SuMo.

why is cyrus helping anyone? why is anyone helping cyrus? he's not into mobster shit or world domination he literally wants to nullify existence and create a new one where he's the only holdover from the previous existence. nobody benefits from this but him, not even the bowl cut retards serving him, which I also never understood. was it because his team had the best outfits? I can't think of a single reason to join his team. I mean he was cool and all but his minions are dense.

>>229192As much as at the time especially how cool the stadium games were they didn't give you the full fledged rpg experience. That's what people have been wanting for years. I know xd had a campaign but people want the full experience on a home console.

This will be that. Its basically guaranteed to print money and sell systems. Its the next logical step for pokemon. I just hope it comes out good.

How great is it that your local walmart still probably has ORAS and XY on the shelves? I got Y, Sun and alpha sapphire there. Might get X later so I can get a xerneas. That would take my collection of 6th gen to completion :3

if I find my moon then I have full 6th and 7th gen yay.

Btw I think I'm going to breed and train a gengar and an abra. Most of my 50 something battle ready dudes are attack boosters to be honest.

also btw Tyrantrum with rock head is awesome. Head smash all day e'eryday. I stick an assault vest on him in a sandstorm and then yay. Resist them specials.

1997. I was absorbed into the original pokemon craze as a kid with Red version. It was the first video game I had ever completed by myself. I was completely obsessed with Pokemon ever since.

>What were your first games?I was given Red version first then I got my hands on Blue and eventually Yellow.

>What is your favorite game?My favorite game in the series is Emerald. Emerald was the game that opened my eyes to real competitive battling and breeding. Emerald was the game that taught me how to beat all of my friends at pokemon. Most of my favorite pokemon come from generation 3 as well. Everything about Emerald was amazing, it had the perfect curve for teaching new players how to play pokemon, and with the frontier at the end, it shined at challenging players to learn competitive battling in order to complete it.

>What kind of trainer are you?Breeder. I love breeding competitive quality pokemon. It's an activity that I can do that doesn't require a lot of thinking, good time waster. Plus I enjoy putting in the effort and time to breed good natured perfect competitive pokemon. Building teams for my friends and myself, it's just really fun to me. I do like competitive battling, but breeding pokemon is more relaxing.

>>229123I have to be honest. If they took IVs out of pokemon it wouldn't change much but EVs are part of the depth of the game and if you can't understand or access them now it's because you're dumb. I mean IVs take less time and are easier to do than ever before but it's still a time sink but if they ever removed EVs they'd take a massive chunk of the competitive game out for something you can now just set to auto train and come back and it's done.

>>229127I think there's a few builds where you WANT bad IVs in one stat, like with special attackers so they don't get fucked by swagger as bad. but overall I'd be cool with it if IVs were either axed or simplified. they made sense before, different wild pokemon having different capabilities made sense to me. but once hackers started making 6iv teams that dominated tournaments, and then nintendo added in proper IV breeding in gen 6, it seemed like it wasn't serving a purpose beyond grinding. I like the concept of egg moves and passing down the pokeball they were caught in though.
